Bassetlaw Action Centre is a community resource agency offering help and support to individuals and organisations throughout Bassetlaw; promoting the independence of older and vulnerable people and supporting individuals with long term conditions.

Opening times: Mon- Fri 09:00am - 13:00pm (outside these hours an answerphone service is available).

Most people would agree that physical activity is good for you; however, the majority of us don't do enough to improve our health and some of us don't do anything at all.

Available through your GP or Healthcare Professional, this programme aims to provide you with the support and advice you need to exercise safely and appropriately.  You will learn new skills such as how to listen to your body and exercise at a pace which is comfortable for your condition.

The Staying well Expert Patients Programme is a six-week course for anyone living with a long-term health condition.  Its aims are to help you take control of your health by learning new skills to manage your condition better on a daily basis.  Each session lasts for two and a half hours and is facilitated by trained tutors who are themselves living with a long-term condition.  The Staying Well programme complements existing health care programmes and treatments, empowering participants to be more informed and better able to develop partnerships with their medical practitioners.

Topics covered by the programme:

• Dealing with pain and extreme tiredness
• Coping with feelings of depression
• Relaxation techniques and exercise
• Healthy eating
• Communicating with family, friends and professionals
• Planning for the future

The Peer Support Group is open to anyone who has attended the Staying Well Programme.  The aim of the group is for course participants to continue meeting and supporting each other.  After completing the course it is very easy to feel lost and alone again, and to find it hard to remain motivated to continue with self-management techniques that you have developed.

Meetings at The Buttermarket, Retford Town Hall on the 2nd Thursday of the month 10.30am-2pm

The service supports Victims and survivors to be resilient and in doing so are less likely to be re-victimised; empowered to cope and recover from crime and anti-social behaviour by timely and effective victim-centred support from local services, families and communities.

Victims do not have to report a crime to access the service. Victims of both recorded and self-reported crime are tracked at all points in their journey and given access to information, practical support and advice and where appropriate, referral to ‘cope, recover and empowerment’ support services in their local communities.

Victim CARE ensures that the support will be victim-centred and outcome focussed. It will ensure that the needs of the victim are considered and supported at every stage of the criminal justice process.

The service is provided by a team of experienced professional case workers, giving one to one support to victims of crime and ASB. The team is supported by a committed and highly trained team of volunteers. The aim is to improve victims’ experience with the criminal justice system and associated support services.

Types of support

Victims of crime and anti-social behaviour benefit from enhanced help and support with a new-style service, designed around the needs of victims to help them cope and recover from their experience and empower them to become more resilient

• Tailored emotional and practical support, advocacy and restorative justice determined through a ‘needs assessment’, focusing on the level of harm caused by the crime and the vulnerability of the victim.
• A dedicated Caseworker providing one to one support to each victim, making it less stressful for them and reducing the number of times they are asked to tell their story
• Access to restorative justice services arranged by the Caseworker, which could include facilitating dialogue with a person with a conviction. Restorative justice brings those harmed by crime or conflict and those responsible for the harm into communication, enabling everyone affected by a particular incident to play a part in repairing the harm and finding a positive way forward.

Service users will receive interventions if they are modertae to severe mental health problems, including depressive illnesses and disorders of personality

Interventions are offered on a 1-1 and/or group therapy basis

We are a group of ladies who gain friendship and fellowship through both our own club and clubs in our district. We raise funds for various different charities which often change as Presidents can choose to support local, national and international charities.

Our club meets on the second Thursday of every month at Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Restaurant Barnby Moor.

41 Club specialises in continuing the friendships made in Round Table. The philosophy of the club is very similar to that of Round Table, but it is often less ‘active’ and in many cases clubs meet less often. The Club's main purpose is to support Round Table and, if possible, participate in local community service initiatives or charity work. However the ‘continued friendship’ and ‘fellowship’ aspect is of great importance. 

Retford Club meets 1st Tuesday of the month.
